Xue Ci instinctively hid behind Li Ying.
Unable to find anyone to complain to, He Xinglan set her sights on Yu Lian.
No matter how much she liked her sister-in-law, she couldn't stand dealing with the trivial matters between the two of them every day.
"Lanlan, listen to your sister-in-law, maybe you two should break up..."
Before she could finish speaking, Xue Ci interrupted her, "Comrade Yu Lian, don't take advantage of your power to say such things. My brother finally found a girlfriend. Haven't you heard the saying 'It's better to tear down ten temples than to break up one marriage'?"
Li Ying looked at her daughter with annoyance, she had never seen anyone act like they were dying every day just because they were in love.
"Lanlan, stop bothering your sister-in-law. I don't think you and Xue Ci are a good match. What kind of relationship is like this? You two are acting crazy and not like normal people. Your sister-in-law is right, break up."
She was so engrossed in her conversation that she didn't notice her daughter had completely lost her earlier hurt and anxious demeanor.
He Xinglan realized that she had overacted, to the point that her mother had told the truth.
Fortunately, Xue Zhi wasn't here, otherwise he would have been heartbroken.
"Mom, that's enough. My brother's already like this. We'll talk about this later."
He Xinglan's appearance made Li Ying doubt whether her daughter was truly in a relationship with him.
Inside the hospital, a group of people exchanged a few words in what seemed like a short time, but outside, a bloody storm had already begun.
Several of the most influential newspapers and media outlets in Hong Kong were vying to report a news story with the headline "How the whole family climbed to the top by monopolizing the family fortune and murdering their own uncle."
Within an afternoon, these newspapers were spread all over the city, and almost everyone had a copy.
The current family dynamic has influenced every aspect of the lives of people in Hong Kong.
As a company that ranks among the top locally and even globally, Hejia's every move attracts much attention.
As the saying goes, when a wall falls, everyone pushes it down. Companies that react quickly managed to snag a bargain on the very day after the scandal broke, receiving orders totaling the amount they had accumulated over the previous ten years.
The whole family was in chaos, and everyone was working tirelessly to help deal with the situation.
From the moment the afternoon news broke that the family boss had profited from the tragedy of others, climbing the ladder of success by stepping on the blood and lives of his relatives, the entire company was thrown into a frenzy of activity.
Inside the company, Chen Shu stood at the door of his office, watching people come and go.
"Assistant Chen, what... are you doing?"
Suddenly, an employee stepped forward and cautiously patted him on the shoulder.
Chen Shu came to his senses and rubbed his sore nose.
"It's alright, it's just that the boss probably won't make it through the night..."
He left those words behind, ignoring the questions swirling in his mind, and strode away from the company.
The employees were left stunned and stood there dumbfounded for a long time.
Within half an hour, the news, leaked by the boss's right-hand man, spread throughout the entire company.
In the past two years, employees of Hejia have been proud to work for Hejia Company, and it's something they brag about in their daily lives.
The company collapsed in a single day, and the boss was still lying in the hospital with his life hanging in the balance. It seemed like a dead end no matter how you looked at it.
Inside the hospital.
He Lin got up and took a sip of water.
However, just after I finished drinking the water, there was a knock on the door.
The corridor is now surrounded by bodyguards, and this small section of the road has been temporarily blocked off.
More than half an hour later, several burly men carried out an exquisite black coffin.
The child's cries sounded particularly sorrowful amidst the low sobs.
Yu Lian stared solemnly at the coffin, a faint sadness hidden in her eyes.
She felt sorry for the child, who knew nothing and was crying so hard now. She didn't know how to comfort him after things were resolved in a couple of days.
Although the scene after leaving was anticipated, no one expected the media to be so crazy, and the front and back gates of Chia Ho Hospital were completely blocked.
After a large number of security personnel arrived at the scene to maintain order, the procession was able to set off again.
The media, suppressed by force, could only watch as the coffin was loaded into a luxurious yet understated car and drove away.
However, media vehicles followed behind until the car entered the funeral home.
The media vehicles were blocked outside the iron gate.
However, some unscrupulous media professionals have lost their integrity in order to get first-hand reports.
They used various methods to evade inspection and climbed over the wall into the funeral home.
The footage, taken from a distance, shows the mortician preparing He Lin's appearance inside the lobby.
The distance and illness had caused He Lin to become extremely thin and unrecognizable.
This resulted in the footage not resembling him.
However, upon closer inspection and comparison with the photos, some resemblance can still be discerned.
"A whole host of upsetting things have happened at once. Could it be that someone is deliberately framing me?"
An unscrupulous reporter was hiding in the bushes chatting with his colleague.
The colleague, intently observing his surroundings, managed to utter just two words: "Business Warfare."
Inside the funeral home, He Lin's funeral arrangements were being carried out in an orderly manner.
Yu Lian held her sleeping daughter and patted her son's back with her free hand.
"Alright, Dad's watching you, stop crying."
Yu Lian waited for a while, woke up her daughter, said a few words to her parents-in-law, and then took the children home.
Tomorrow, relatives and friends will come to pay their respects.
She had to take the children back to prepare some new clothes.
Yu Lian happened to run into the unscrupulous reporter as he was leaving.
"Mom, aren't you sad that Dad died?"
The reporter didn't know Yu Lian, but was familiar with He Lin's child.
I had photographed them many times before, but later I stopped because of pressure from my family.
A closer look reveals that the relationship between these individuals is quite close.
Although they weren't sure if the woman was He Lin's current wife, the two of them looked at the woman's smiling face not far away, immediately came up with a title, and promptly took a picture of the scene.
"Since the young master and princess are calling her 'Mom,' this woman might be He Lin's current wife. Take more pictures; we could make two news stories."
Unaware that she was being photographed, Yu Lian took her child home.
When they arrived at the parking spot, Yu Lian reached out and tapped the back of the car.
"Mom, what are you doing?"
"It's okay, let me check if it's broken. Mom is considering getting a new car."
He Ning'an didn't say a word the whole way, just silently watched his mother and younger siblings' conversation.
Just minutes before they arrived home, he finally mustered the courage to ask, "Mom, do you really hate Dad?"
Yu Lian asked knowingly, "An'an, why do you say that? Mommy doesn't hate you."
"Then...why don't you seem sad at all? Is buying a new car more important than Dad?"
Lying in the trunk, He Lin suddenly felt relieved. It wasn't that her son didn't love her; he just loved his mother more.
"You found out all of this, An'an. Will you blame Mommy? Although I hate your dad, he doesn't hate me. He even gave me all his money, so I'll have money to spend even if I'm just lying here. It's good that he's dead; I can spend it however I want now. What do you think?"
"Mom, you're wrong. I can't take your side this time."
The three little ones looked back and forth in the back row, unsure of whose side to stand on.
"Mom, you can do whatever you want in front of us, but you can't do this in front of Grandpa and Grandma. It will make them sad."
Her own child has become a little housekeeper in the blink of an eye. Yu Lian sighed inwardly, how fast time flies.
The baby I painstakingly nurtured has grown up in the blink of an eye.
"Okay, An'an, please close the garage door for Mom first, and then help me get the things from the trunk. I'm going to the bathroom first."
Yu Lian parked the car, turned off the engine, and quickly slipped away through the side door.
